Ever wondered how to make your Zoom integration with n8n seamless? Well, buckle up because we’re diving into the world of Zoom credentials and OAuth2 setup! As of June 2023, Zoom has shifted gears, fully embracing OAuth2 as the go-to method for new credentials. So, if you’re looking to automate your workflows with n8n, you’re in the right spot. Let’s get started and turn those Zoom credentials into your automation superpower!
Why OAuth2 is the New Boss in Town
First off, let’s talk about why OAuth2 is the new sheriff in town. Back in the day, Zoom used to support API JWT tokens, but guess what? They’ve been fully deprecated since June 2023. That’s right, no more JWT tokens for new credentials. So, if you’re setting up fresh Zoom credentials in n8n, OAuth2 is your only option. And here’s why it’s a good thing: OAuth2 is more secure and streamlined, making your life easier and your workflows more efficient.
Getting Started with OAuth2 for Zoom in n8n
Alright, let’s roll up our sleeves and get into the nitty-gritty. To set up your Zoom credentials using OAuth2 in n8n, you’ll need a few things:
- A Client ID: You’ll generate this when you create an OAuth app on the Zoom App Marketplace.
- A Client Secret: This also gets generated when you create that OAuth app.
Here’s how you do it:
- Head over to the Zoom App Marketplace and create a new OAuth app.
- Select ‘User-managed app’ for ‘Select how the app is managed.’
- Copy the OAuth Callback URL from n8n and enter it as an OAuth Redirect URL in Zoom.
- If your n8n credential displays a Whitelist URL, enter that as another OAuth Redirect URL.
- Choose the scopes you need. For full functionality in n8n, select ‘meeting:read’ and ‘meeting:write.’
- Copy the Client ID and Client Secret provided in the Zoom app and enter them into your n8n credential.
And voilà! You’ve got your OAuth2 credentials set up and ready to rock in n8n.
Permissions and Account Types
Now, you might be thinking, “What kind of account do I need for this?” Well, to set up Zoom credentials in n8n, your account must have one of the following permissions:
- Account owner
- Account admin
- Zoom for developers role
So, make sure you’re rocking one of these roles before you start setting up your credentials.
Using Your Zoom Credentials in n8n
Wondering how this works? Once you’ve got your OAuth2 credentials set up, you can use them to authenticate various nodes in n8n. This means you can automate all sorts of Zoom-related tasks, from scheduling meetings to managing participants. It’s like having a personal assistant that never sleeps!
Tips and Tricks for Smooth Sailing
Here are a few pro tips to ensure your Zoom credentials setup in n8n goes off without a hitch:
- Double-check your URLs: Make sure you’ve entered the correct OAuth Callback URL and Whitelist URL if applicable.
- Scopes matter: Ensure you’ve selected the right scopes for your needs. ‘meeting:read’ and ‘meeting:write’ will cover most use cases.
- Keep it secure: Never share your Client ID and Client Secret. Treat them like the keys to your digital kingdom.
